'Trying To Cope With Things': Ankita Lokhande Says Bigg Boss 17 Has Taken A Toll On Her Mental Health
Ankita Lokhande said that she feels no remorse about being genuine on the show.
New Delhi: Actor Ankita Lokhande, who ranked third in the reality TV show 'Bigg Boss 17', has said that she needs time to "recover" from her experience on the show. During an interview with PTI, Ankita said that she feels no remorse about being genuine on the show.
Ankita stated that she had given Bigg Boss her all throughout her time there.
"Whatever emotions I felt, it all came out. I would often say I've shown my true self on the show, I'm not hiding anything. Even if I tried for a controversy to not happen, it happened. I was tired of myself, (but) it's okay. It's a part of me. I can't help it, I was what I was. No regrets. But when I learnt about my eviction, I was quite okay with that. I was not upset, I was shocked. I thought I had a fandom that was supporting me but I think somewhere it was lacking. I have enjoyed the journey," the actor said.
"I feel I need to recover from that (what she faced inside the house) because it's taken a toll on my mental health. I was never a deep thinker but the situations were such that I became one. I'm trying to recover, and understand a few things of what has happened in my life. It will take time but eventually, I'll come out of it. Vicky is there, my family, my mom and everybody from Vicky's family is also there but eventually it's about how I take things and move on. I'm trying to cope with things," she added.
Ankita Lokhande and her spouse, Vicky Jain, participated in the show. The most recent season of Bigg Boss, hosted by Salman Khan, premiered on Colors on October 15, 2023. The winner of the competition was stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui.
After the end of the show, Ankita revealed that she will be starring in a biopic on VD Savarkar titled 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar'. Randeep Hooda, who also directed it, is in the lead role.
